Theodora Gut Oggau 2017, biodynamic wine, Gruner Veltliner, Welsch Riesling, dry, full, funky, tasty. The serious sister of Atanasius, Theodora is serious wine, complex and intellectual with depth and body, intriguing aromas of under ripe melon, kiwi and yeasty notes. The 2017 unlike the 15 is completely still. The wine is dryer than other years and more racey so for lighter more elegant fish dishes, it is excellent.
Gut Oggau is a 14 hectare Austrian wine estate located in the province of Burgenland by the Lake Neusiedl. The estate is run by Eduard Tscheppe and his wife Stephanie, daughter of a 2 Michelin star restaurant owner. It is a certified biodynamic estate with each wine coming from a single plot of vines with different terroirs showing different expressions in the wine. The individual personalities of the wine are expressed in the faces on the labels created by Jung von Matt (German designer) and brought together in the Gut Oggau family tree. A unique and fascinating way of describing the wines, they taste every bit as intriguing as the labels suggest.
